Second Letter to the Corinthians 9: 6- 11
9:6 But I say this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly. And whoever sows with blessings shall also reap from blessings:
9:7 each one giving, just as he has determined in his heart, neither out of sadness, nor out of obligation. For God loves a cheerful giver.
9:8 And God is able to make every grace abound in you, so that, always having what you need in all things, you may abound unto every good work,
9:9 just as it was written: “He has distributed widely, he has given to the poor; his justice remains from age to age.”
9:10 And he who ministers seed to the sower will offer you bread to eat, and will multiply your seed, and will increase the growth of the fruits of your justice.
9:11 So then, having been enriched in all things, you may abound in all simplicity, which works thanksgiving to God through us.

The Holy Gospel to John 12: 24-26
| 12:24 | Amen, amen, I say to you, unless the grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, |
| 12:25 | it remains alone. But if it dies, it yields much fruit. Whoever loves his life, will lose it. And whoever hates his life in this world, preserves it unto eternal life. |
| 12:26 | If anyone serves me, let him follow me. And where I am, there too my minister shall be. If anyone has served me, my Father will honor him. |
